Recommended Procedures

1. Test all circuits with a voltmeter.

2. Make all wiring connections with the supplied solderless crimp connectors. DO NOT twist wires or use scotch-lok connectors.

Route the small and large RED, RED/WHITE and BLACK wires from the control unit directly to the battery.

4. Keep extensions as short as possible. Use same gauge wires for short extensions and larger gauge wires for longer extensions.

5. Before installing, discuss the placement of the LED indicator and valet switch with the vehicle owner.

6. DO NOT disconnect the battery cables. Make all connections by removing the bolts from the cable clamps without detaching the clamp.

7. Turn off dome light or remove dome light fuse to prevent battery drain.

Installation Procedures

Control Unit

1. Select a location under the dash that will allow you to use the tie wraps to securely fasten the control unit.

2. Mount the control unit as high as possible to ensure maximum security.

3. Do not mount the control unit near moving parts.

4. Avoid areas that are in the direct path of air blowing from the vents.

5. Route wires from this point, leaving slack for ease of service.

RangeMaster™ Super Heterodyne Receiver Module

Plug the receiver module WHITE connector into the control unit WHITE plug.

2. Use tie wraps to fasten the receiver module as far from the control unit as possible.

3. Route the antenna cable up through the driver side windshield pillar, behind the headliner and behind the rear view mirror.

4. Use the small mounting tabs to connect the antenna to the windshield, behind the rear view mirror approximately 2" below the top of the windshield.

Wireloom

1. Plug the wireloom securely into the control unit.

2. Route wires from the control module directly to each connection point.

Separate the small and large RED , RED/WHITE , BLACK, TAN, and WHITE/GREEN wires.

4. Sleeve these wires with vinyl tubing or electrical tape and route them through an existing rubber grommet into the engine compartment.

5. If an existing grommet is not available, drill a hole and install a snap grommet.

LED Indicator

1. Discuss placement with the owner.

2. Choose a location that is visible from both sides of the vehicle.

3. Drill a ¼" hole.

4. Route the LED wires through the hole and press LED into place.

5. Route the LED wires to the control unit.

Plug the RED LED connector into the control unit RED plug.

Valet Switch

1. Discuss placement with the owner.

2. Choose a location for the valet switch that is hidden, but convenient for the owner to access.

3. Drill a ¼" hole and mount the switch.

4. Route the valet switch wires to the control unit.

Plug the valet switch WHITE connector into the control unit WHITE plug.

Brake Lights (Mandatory)

CAUTION : As a safety feature, the unit monitors the brake light to

prevent an unauthorized driver from driving the car and to switch to

normal engine operating condition. For this reason, the YELLOW brake light input wire must be connected and the brake light must be in working condition or the remote start will not operate properly.

1. Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position, then press the brake pedal and make sure the brake light illuminates.

2. Use a voltmeter to find the one wire at the brake light switch (usually located on the upper brake pedal arm) that shows +12 volts when you press the brake pedal and 0 volts when the brake pedal is not pressed.

Connect the YELLOW wire to the vehicle brake light switch wire.
